Crescent moon this morning with 200mm lense

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick snapshot of the crescent moon this morning to end a nice night of imaging..
I wished I was able to image it a bit earlier but it sneaked up on me behind these trees. 1/10 sec @ f/3.5 at iso 400 just before 6am. The air was crystal clear last night and even thou the sky was getting bright you could still make out the dark side..

cheers Gary

Nice shot Gary! I had a similar view this morning, but didn't have time to get the camera.

Cheers,
Stephen

Nicely composed between trees. I love it. Looking at shot like this helps my pulse slow down and relaaaax. Well done Gary

Thanks everyone for the comments! I did take a bunch of others but I liked this one the best and that touch of earthshine in it makes it.
cheers and CS
Gary
